1)  Clicking on the UFO icon will display all known information about a
craft.  If you have detected a craft with the Hyperwave Decoder, this could
provide a considerable amount of info.

2)  Once shot down, the UFO Crash Site usjually remains for a couple of
days, so if you haven`t enough soldiers available at the time, you can often
allow it to sit unattended for a couple of days.

3)  UFO`s that have landed voluntarily will never remain for more than a
day.

4)  Terror Sites never appear for more than a day., and considering how many
points the alien side score if you don`t go, you should always respond ASAP
(even if it means abandoning other missions or taking night missions).

5)  Information such as craft size can still be called up from crashed or
landed UFO`s.

6)  Check your graphs regularly.  As well as helping to determine where
additional bases might be located, you can also monitor countries with high
alien activity and how well they pay for good defending.
